Winners Of The NBA Trade Deadline

11 different deals went down Thursday afternoon as the NBA trade deadline came by us in a flash and a lot of players wereshipped to new teamsas well as draft picks.

In this article, I will talk about who got the best deals out of these trades.

3: Miami Heat

The Heat got themselves a great point guard inGoran Dragicas the frustrated Slovenian wanted no part of the Suns and they decided to ship him and his brother Zoran out to South Beach for two first rounds.

Miami also lostNorris Cole,Justin Hamilton, Shawne WilliamsandDanny Grangerto the Suns and the Pelicans, which will hurt their bench but the addition of the Dragic brothers, bring a true great point guard to this team.

I found that Goran couldn’t have been “the man” in Phoenix withEric BledsoeandIsaiah Thomastaking his minutes, but he will succeed in a team hell-bent on making another playoff run. When the team gets healthy, they can make some noise.

2: Phoenix Suns

I know it sounds weird but hear me out. They do lose the Dragic brothers,Miles Plumlee,Tyler EnnisandIsaiah Thomasbut besides Thomas and Goran, the rest were at best average players.

The Suns were able to stockpile draft picks and they gotBrandon Knight,Kendall Marshall,Marcus Thornton,Danny GrangerandJohn Salmons.

Knight will fill the void that Goran left and the rest will fill the rest of the spots up and possibly improve the team as well. Plus if they don’t, they can just use their draft picks to trade up and rebuild this team even faster.

1: Milwaukee Bucks

Another weird selection but I picked them because of one reason, they gotMichael Carter-Williamsfrom the 76ers. They also got Plumlee and Ennis who will have roles off the bench.

The fact that they got Williams, who is a great young talent, makes them the winner of this group.Jabari Parkerand Williams will be one the same team for a long time now. They did lose Knight and some draft picks but I still like the MCW acquisition a lot.

I know some people won’t agree with me on this but I personally think these three teams did a lot of good things yesterday. Only time will prove if what I said is right or wrong.
